Great monsters....ordinary acting

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2013)

People are giving this 10 stars?? Seriously? The first thing that struck me was the absolutely awful accents. If actors can't do an accent properly, they should just stick to their normal voice. The two 'Australians' (at least I think that's what they were suppose to be) were absolutely terrible. And Idris's English accent was pretty ordinary. In fact, apart from Rinko and Charlie, the acting was below what it should have been. The two 'science guys' were way over the top...but not believable. And Ron Perlman just couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. (sorry Ron!!)
But hey, I wasn't expecting to be riveted by the story line, I went to see Cloverfield V Transformers and visually, it was spectacular and really well done.
It felt a lot like it was trying to be Godzilla, with a few zany bits and giggles thrown in....some of which almost worked.
Leave you're brain at the popcorn stand and enjoy the visual feast. Was certainly worth a watch but I can't see myself adding it to the DVD collection.
